About Sally…
My creative spirit came from sitting with my
mother and learning how to use my hands to
create something useful and beautiful to look
at. I have worked extensively in various mediums
including porcelain and ceramics as well as
exploring textiles by creating beautiful counted
cross stitch pieces. My level of expertise
allowed me to be certified to teach porcelain
art (china painting) as well as instructing
classes in ceramics.
Several years ago my interests turned to warm
glass (fusing). I traveled to Virginia where I
studied advanced fusing techniques at Vitrum
Studios.
PMC (Precious Metal Clay) was in its infancy and
I fell in love with the medium and the
possibilities of combining it with warm glass to
create beautiful and unusual pieces of jewelry.
I received my level I and II PMC certifications
in Chicago, which encouraged my passion for the
beauty of these two mediums to become a
business. I continue to expand my knowledge of
Precious Metal Clay by attending classes,
conferences, and meetings with other members of
the PMC Guild. I love to experiment by
combining the PMC with Polymer Clay Canes,
Dichroic glass, or enamels.
I currently create my pieces in a studio, built
by my husband, attached to my home on Kelleys
Island.
You may see some of my pieces at Kelleys Landing
on Kelleys Island.
I am also available by appointment for an informal
showing of my pieces at my studio.
About PMC . . .
(Precious Metal Clay) is silver granules held
together with a bonding agent. It feels similar
to regular clay. Once shaped, textured, dried,
sanded, and finished, it is put into a kiln and
fired from 1110 to 1650 degrees F. In the firing
process the bonding agent burns off leaving a
piece of silver that is .999 pure. This is
called Fine Silver.
Sally is available by appointment for an
informal showing
of her pieces at her studio.
